Forget about needing time to get into midseason form, Victor Oladipo looks like he's already there.

The Indiana Pacers guard scored 54 points during a Miami Pro League game this week and earned the player of the game nod. The former Indiana Hoosiers star also grabbed eight rebounds and dished out two assists.

This past season Oladipo became the fifth member of the Pacers organization to win the NBA's Most Improved Player award. He set career-highs in points (23.1), rebounds (5.2), assists (4.3) and more. The Pacers will look to improve on the fifth-seed, first round playoff exit that ended the 2017-18 campaign.

"We're just getting started," Oladipo said during a summer press conference. "I truly believe that when I say that. This year scratched the surface of how good we can really be."

Oladipo added he wants to be great, one of the greatest to ever play the game, and he'll do what he needs to in order to get there.
